2018 Honda Cvic Type R, How to kil your mother-in-law

Image
If you are a car guy and happen to be married , at some point of your marriage your beloved wifey will try systematically ,every possible way to get rid of your precious EVO , WRX or CIVIC that you have spent most of your last ten years working on upgrading it and cruising with your boys in it .  She will go even further by telling that getting rid of it is inevitable because it is a piece of junk and that "we should get a reasonable Volvo" so she can drive the kids to school , have road trips and occasionally, drive her mother too . The only thing you can do at this point is to tell her that you have the best solution for everyone and drive to the closest Honda dealership and get yourself their latest alluring Civic Type R . It is finally here gentlemen and it looks absolutely mind-blowing . By looking at it you will instantly know that Honda thought this car through , it is lower , wider and comes with four doors and a one big trunk. It is the replacement of th...

Porsche 911 R , The Aroma of the 60s

Image
Steve Jobs gave the world a way to store music from the 20th centry in a 21st centry technology that is now regarded as a breakthrough in the digital era . Porsche did the same thing when it comes to their latest 911 that was disclosed at the 87th Geneva Motor show last March 2016. This 911 comes after several other models , the Carrera range,Targa,Turbo,Turbo S, GTS and the GT3 RS . I always have the feeling that Porsche are intentionally trying to provide these misleading names for their cars to distinguish the real Porsche's enthusiats from the rest of other devotees of the automotive industry ,quite like Ferrari with their different numbers .  But as a cars fanatic , I can only admit the greatness of this brand and what it really did to the industry be it technological invention , great performance or exquisite and iconic looks of its models like the original 911 R produced in 1967 and was considered one of the most advanced and fastest of its generation. This 911 ...

Lamborghini Huracan Perfromante, The Airbender

Image
If you just had a new-born baby and still looking for a meaningful name for him/her , you can email Lamborghini for some suggestions because when it comes to naming cars, no one  does it better than the Italian car manufacturer. Looking back at the previous cars , can only lead you to come up with the same conclusion that I had . The Centenario , Huracan ,  Aventador , Gallardo , Murcielago , Diablo ,Countach and the list goes on to an endless pleasure just by hearing the rigorous nomenclature like Sesto Elemento ,Performente or Superveloce .  The Huracan Performante is not an exception when it comes to the overwhelming emotions that this car holds within its heart-stopping , hair-raising almost orgasming looks . When the company became in 1998 under the supervision of Audi, fears that the brand will be detached from its emotions were raised but that turned to be a misinterpretaion and Lambo kept on providing cars like the Murcelago the Gallardo and the Aventador ...

Ferrari 488 GTB N Largo , Better than Manzoni's

Image
When your name is Ferrari ,your color is red and been present in the automotive industry since 1947, everyone will be interested in your next move  and how you might look in fornt  of your rivals .  With a legacy enriched with exotic and alluring cars , except the Ferrari Dino , you are compelled to provide the best of you .  In the recent years , Ferrari never ceased on introducing the most appreciated models like the Ferrari 458 , F12 , F12 TDF , LaFerrari and recently the 488 GTB and the 812 superfast ( there will be a dedicated blog for the latter soon ) . But I am interested at the moment in the 488 GTB . There is no doubt that Flavio Manzoni , Ferrari's head designers did an appreciated work of art on the latest models . But if you have a company called Novitec Rosso and you are based in Germany you would probably think that the 488 GTB is not good enough for customers , so instead of sending some notes to Mr Manzoni at Maranello you allow yoursel...

BMW M4 CS , The best of both worlds

Image
If you are familiar with the movie " The Hangover" you can instantly relate the trio protagonists to the M4 models released by BMW , the standard rather dull M4 , the unique GTS and recently ,the guy that knows when to party hard and be rational at the same time , CS .  I think that BMW M division is runned by a bunch of adrenaline and power junkies and here is why.. A while ago they released the sporty version of the regular 4 Series which was equipped with the highly regarded letter of the alphabet for BMW , the letter M .The standard 4 Series was crowned with an M power engine to insure more power and better performance for the brand's enthusiats . But then , the people from M division thought that more power is not enough and wanted something far more bulcky and brutal so they designed an extreme version of the sporty version of a 4 Series and they called the GTS . Only 700 were made of the GTS  and they proudly delivered for the most devoted BMW M fans ...
